Double vs Teable: at a glance
What is Double?
Double moves Ask Double from a chat box to agents that run on a schedule.
Double is an accounting practice platform whose product surface is increasingly reached through Ask Double, its assistant. Over the last two months Ask Double has absorbed transaction creation and editing, live spreadsheets, metrics setup, accrual and workpaper preparation, voice input, and reads from Slack, Notion and HubSpot. The August 20 release adds bank-transaction import from a CSV, PDF or image, and opens a private beta for custom AI agents that run on a schedule or event trigger.
What is Teable?
Secrets get encrypted at rest while the computed-field engine keeps getting shored up
Teable is shipping several date-stamped releases a day, and the current batch splits between security and durability. AI provider API keys and configuration secrets are now encrypted at rest with no change to how providers are configured, and scoped personal access tokens are enforced strictly enough that previously over-permissive integrations may start receiving 403s. The rest is the computed-field engine: lookup and rollup backfills when generated and stored types differ, conditional lookups on large tables, and cascade reliability during write bursts.

Double moves Ask Double from a chat box to agents that run on a schedule.
◆ Current state
Double is an accounting practice platform whose product surface is increasingly reached through Ask Double, its assistant. Over the last two months Ask Double has absorbed transaction creation and editing, live spreadsheets, metrics setup, accrual and workpaper preparation, voice input, and reads from Slack, Notion and HubSpot. The August 20 release adds bank-transaction import from a CSV, PDF or image, and opens a private beta for custom AI agents that run on a schedule or event trigger.
◆ Where it's heading
The arc is a steady transfer of the product's own features into the assistant, and it has now crossed from assistance into delegation. Every prior step still required an accountant to sit in the chat and ask; scheduled agents that hand work back for human review do not. The surrounding release notes are consistent with that reading — permissions, visibility defaults, deep links, and credit-spend reporting per user are the plumbing a firm needs before it lets software act unattended across a client book.
◆ Prediction
Expect the agents beta to graduate with per-client scoping and an approval queue, following the read/write split already used for Connections, and expect agent runs to be metered against the AI credits Double now sells.

Secrets get encrypted at rest while the computed-field engine keeps getting shored up
◆ Current state
Teable is shipping several date-stamped releases a day, and the current batch splits between security and durability. AI provider API keys and configuration secrets are now encrypted at rest with no change to how providers are configured, and scoped personal access tokens are enforced strictly enough that previously over-permissive integrations may start receiving 403s. The rest is the computed-field engine: lookup and rollup backfills when generated and stored types differ, conditional lookups on large tables, and cascade reliability during write bursts.
◆ Where it's heading
Two arcs run through nearly every release. One is the Skills and App Builder layer, where the August governance release gave admins a publish, upgrade, disable and roll back lifecycle for organization-wide Skills. The other is the computed-field and lookup cascade engine, which appears in almost every changelog and is clearly the hardest part of the system to keep correct at scale. Onboarding and mobile polish fill the remainder.
◆ Prediction
Expect the Skills governance surface to extend toward usage reporting or per-Skill permissioning, and continued work on computed-field cascades, which appear in nearly every release in this window. Encrypting provider keys at rest points toward broader secret handling for self-hosted deployments.
